The building has a stone foundation, brick bearing walls, sloping built-up roof, and heavy interior timber framing. The interior structural system is typical of multi-story industrial buildings of this era, before concrete frame industrial construction became common. The building is L-shaped in design with the main elevation facing South Fourth Street. The southern portion of the building is located along Noble Street and measures 67 feet by 146 feet; the northernmost third of the building measures 28 feet x 62 feet. The building is located along the sidewalk on both the east and south elevations. A small surface parking area is located behind the building. Character-defining features include the use of different colors of iron-spot brick, decorative brickwork patterns, contrasting sandstone trim, segmental and rectangular window openings, and a single main entrance and large expanses of glass on the first floor main elevation. Interior features include a brick-arched ceiling on the first floor and a heavy timber framing system; as was common in industrial buildings, perimeter walls are made of exposed brick. These features reflect both the original industrial use of the building (heavy timber framing, open floor plan) as well as its location within a commercial streetscape (well-designed far;ade with contrasting and decorative brickwork, segmental and rectangular window patterns, large expanses of storefront glazing on the first floor). The building is an excellent representative of a type that at one time was fairly common in downtown Columbus an industrial building designed to fit into a commercial streetscape. In such buildings, the exteriors were much more ornamental than might be found in factory buildings in industrial districts, the idea being to make them visually comfatible when inserted into the pre-existing commercial streetscape. In the late 19th and early 2ot centuries, this building type was found in a number of small- and medium-scaled industrial buildings in the urban core of downtown Columbus. The nominated property, which was built originally for industrial use as the headquarters and manufacturing facility for the United States Carriage Company, is located in the central business district of Columbus, Ohio, approximately four blocks south and one block east of Capital Square. It is adjacent to several late 19th and early 20th century buildings immediately to the north. To the south is a parking lot. The building is located close to the street and it part of an urban streetscape. Narrative Description The building fa9ade, which faces South Fourth Street, has a unified design for the entire 95-foot width of the building. The building displays three colors of brick that provide subtle contrast and visual interest. The main body of the building is iron-spot brick in a light orange color, while the 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service I National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 0MB No. 1024-0018 United States Carriage Company Franklin Co., OH Name of Property County and State first two floors of the fayade are also iron-spot brick in a light beige color, and the detailing around windows on the upper floors of the fayade and the south elevation is red brick. The free­ standing building measures 12 by 15 bays along the east and south elevations. (Photo # 1) The fayade (east) has a symmetrical and highly-ordered fenestration pattern, and differentiated detailing on the first two and the upper three floor levels. The brickwork on the first two floors is a slightly lighter color of brick that provides a subtle contrast with the remainder of the building. This area is further distinguished with brick quoins at the corners and on the pilasters that separate the four storefront bays. A stone beltcourse separates the first and second floors of the building; while a slightly more detailed brick and stone horizontal beltcourse separates the second and third floors. The first floor level appears to have had large expanses of window glass. No historic photos were found but the physical evidence indicates that these were large openings originally. They have now been replaced with contemporary but compatible infill consisting of a red sandstone bulkhead, anodized aluminum window framing and decorative painted metal in the transom areas. A recessed entrance is located in the fourth opening, with anodized aluminum framing and the same decorative transom. Contemporary light fixtures flank the entrance. The window openings on the upper four floors are arranged in groups of three. The center six bays project slightly from the building fa9ade, providing further visual separation of the window groupings. The center six bays have smooth sandstone lintels on the third and fourth floors, while the end groupings of windows have brickjackarches with sandstone keystones. The fifth floor windows feature round-arched openings accentuated with hoodmoulds formed with one row of smooth bricks, four rows of rubbed red bricks and outlined with smooth stone surrounds. Corbelled brickwork, also utilizing red bricks and stone to provide contrast, is located below the cornice line and just turns the corner at the north and south end. A plaque with the date "1902" incised in the stone is embedded in the wall below the corbelled brickwork in the center of the building. The windows are one-over-one replacement windows. (Photos # 2-1 1) The south elevation faces East Noble Street and is much simpler in design. The segmental­ arched window openings have flush brickjackarches constructed in a contrasting light red brick. Two large round-arched openings on the first floor have been infilled with contemporary glass and metal sash. The metal cornice turns the corner and continues for the first half of the building before turning into a simple parapet design. Windows have replacement one-over-one sash. (Photos# 12-13) The rear elevation (west) measures eight bays. All the windows are rectangular,

  • The Schulte Family in Alpine, California
    THE SCHULTE FAMILY IN ALPINE, CALIFORNIA The two things that have led to my connection and fascination with Alpine are my visits with my grandmother, Marguerite (Borden) Head or “Zuella”, and the Foss family in the 1950s, and the exquisite art work of Leonard Lester (see separate articles titled The Marguerite (Borden) and Robert Head Family of Alpine” and “Leonard Lester – Artist”). Most of the information on the Schulte family presented here is from 1) conversations with my father, Claude H. Schulte; 2) my grandfather, Christopher Henry Schulte, whose personal history was typed by his daughter, Ruth in 1942; and 3) supplemented by interviews with and records kept by my Aunt Ruth Schulte, including her mother’s diary. Kenneth Claude Schulte – December 2009 Christopher Henry Schulte, who immigrated to the United States in 1889, was born in Twistringen, Germany on 21 Dec 1874 and died 1 May 1954 in Lemon Grove, San Diego Co., California. In Arkansas he was married on 28 Jul 1901 to Flora Birdie Lee, born 16 Oct. 1883, Patmos, Hempstead Co., Arkansas and died 11 Jul 1938, Alpine, San Diego Co., California. Henry and Birdie had eight children: 1. Carl Lee Schulte b. 14 Oct 1902 Arkansas 2. Lois Birdie Schulte b. 07 Jun 1904 Arkansas 3. Otto Albert Schulte b. 29 May 1908 Arkansas 4.

    THE ARTS, GENTRIFICATION, AND COLUMBUS, OHIO A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by Allison R. Sweeney in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Arts Administration August 2014 ii DEDICATIONS Dedicated to Lynn and Jack Sweeney My biggest fans, my favorite people, my amazing parents iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are several individuals and organizations that must be acknowledged in contributing to the success of this thesis. Without these certain individuals and organizations, I would be absolutely be up stream without a paddle and left researching a topic that held no interest for me. I need to thank all of my extremely passionate interviews, especially Jim Sweeney (no relation to the author of this thesis) of the Franklinton Development Association. I have never met an individual with so much enthusiasm for what they do that they vividly speak of their craft outside of the office. It is this kind of passion that gives me hope for the future of Franklinton. For your endless vibrancy, attention to detail, and love of Franklinton, I thank you. I also must thank Betsy Pandora of the Short North Alliance, and Chris Sherman of 400 West Rich, Franklinton. You both harvest your craft and all the facets that go along with it in such a way that leaves you prone to nothing but success. I can only hope to learn as much as you both have in my future endeavors and hopeful career with the arts. I of course must also thank my other interviews who each contributed a wealth of information and experience that would otherwise been missing from this thesis: Joe Armeni, Esther Hall, Suzanne Accetta, Rex Brown, and Walker Evans.

  • Columbus, Ohio 1812-1992
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 366 735 CE 065 546 AUTHOR Van Tine, Warren R. TITLE A History of Labor in Columbus, Ohio 1812-1992. INSTITUTION Ohio State Univ., Columbus. Center for Labor Research. REPORT NO CLR-WP-010 PUB DATE 93 NOTE 78p. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adult Education; Employer Employee Relationship; *Labor Conditions; *Labor Demands; Labor Economics; Laborers; Labor Force; *Labor Relations; Strikes; Union Members; *Unions; Work Environment IDENTIFIERS Labor Studies; *Ohio (Columbus) ABSTRACT While the building and printing industries flourished in pre-Civil War Columbus, manufacturing languished. The manufacturing base grew and diversified from 1820 to 1850. Few unions emerged, and those that did seldom lasted long. During the Civil War business and manufacturing increased to serve the camps and prisons established in Columbus. When the war ended, Columbus's workers launched the first concerted effort to build a labor movement. In August 1869 the arrival of the first train of the Hocking Valley Railroad introduced a new chapter in the city's industrial history. By World War I, industry had migrated out of the downtown area. Workers were excluded from a major say in city affairs, confined to overcrowded and inadequately served neighborhoods, and trapped in low-paying, dirty, demanding jobs. The characteristic pattern of the labor movement until the 1930s emerged: workers unionized during prosperity and retreated with recessions. World War I stimulated the economy; peace brought a depression. But because of the city's diverse economic base, it did not feel the depression as severely as other locations; nor did it experience the prosperity of the 1920s to the same degree as other communities; hence, increasingly, the word "moderate" described all national trends as they applied to Columbus.
